Answer:

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum performs this function.

Explanation:

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle made of connected membranes. Its function is to synthesize lipids that the cell needs for different activities.

Match the functional groups with their structures:
evablogger [386]
The true answer of your question is :

OH : HYDROXYL GROUP

NH2 : AMINO GROUP

CH3 : METHYL GROUP ( but in rather broader terms, that functional group of formula CnH2n+1 where n is an integer is called ALKYL GROUP where by substituting n by 1,2,3... we obtain methyl for n = 1, ethyl for n = 2, and propyl for n = 3 )

COOH : CARBOXYL GROUP is the correct answer since carbonyl is characterized by the presence of functional group C=O in general the formula of the compound would be
R-C=O-R’ where R and R’ are alkyl groups like methyl for example. However the carboxyl group could be thought of as a summation of carbonyl + hydroxyl ( CO + OH ) resulting thus in COOH.

I hope you’ll understand everything, anyway if not i’m always here to help. ♥️

Answer:

adhesion

Explanation:

The term used to describe the attraction of water molecules to other molecules is referred to as <u>adhesion</u>.

Generally, adhesion or adhesive forces is a term used to describe the force of attraction between molecules of different substances. This is as opposed to cohesion or cohesive forces which refers to the force of attraction between the molecules of the same substance.

Hence, when molecules of water attract or stick to other molecules, the force at play is an adhesive force or simply adhesion.
